i know i already posted this. dont care. i know i have told this story before. dont care. i had never heard this song until the holiday season 1995 when WBCN played it (which had an app within sight of the station). i went to Newbury and found a comp that had it and played it a lot in the week prior to xmess. i knew nothing about the song and now find it amusing that one of the members of the group was working at that station at the time when i heard it. I had moved to the Boston area in July of that year and things had been a busy blur for me. getting out of a messy relationship, the Murrah building bombing, a friend going on a shooting spree, moving halfway across the country, getting settled in a new place, getting a good paying job at a nice hotel, seeing Boston in the fall, in and out of another messy relationship and a whole lot of time alone. and that is just the basics. so Christmas morning i rode an empty train home. walking the cold last half a mile because taking the bus required waiting. the cold was the better option. got it hit play and repeat as i was getting comfortable and listened to this song for four hours straight. crying for two of those hours. this was the point that i decided the move was a total disaster and considered moving back. i wasnt ready for this level lonely. this song, a few phone calls, and my the antics of my room mate changed my mood enough to get by. and everything was normal when i went back to work that night. and i stayed in the area and things got much better very shortly there after. because of all of this the song serves to remind me that things can get worse but they also get much better. Enjoy what you have even if it doesnt seem like much. take care of yourselves. turn the volume up. Happy yourselves a merry little Christmas.
